Weekend theme: Things that make me happy.

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happySunshine in my eyes can make me crySunshine on the water looks so lovelySunshine almost always makes me high.

It’s been on my mind for the whole of the weekend, so I played it today at the Mall, just to get it out of my system. Playing piano is something that does make me very happy indeed, especially if people are listening and enjoying my music.

I’m generally a very happy person, but at the moment I’m especially happy and excited because next week Monday, our son will be arriving from New York to visit family and friends in South Africa. He’s bringing the oldest of his little girls with him. She’s almost seven, and will feel so special to be travelling all that way with her dad.

We’ll all have a lovely family time down here with my mom, sister and her family, and then we’ll be off to Johannesburg to see my daughter and her two children. There’s also going to be a big party with all my son’s South African friends, of which there are many. So all in all, it promises to be a very happy time indeed.

The wreck on the reef, a give away I must confess. Yes the DR is a beautiful place for it’s own reasons. But, when your there an off the beaten path, there seemed to be a tad too many shiny chrome guns in greasy palms for my liking but not enough to prevent me from going back.

What a wonderful time you’re going to have!! I know you’ll enjoy every minute with your son and granddaughter! We’re off to see our son’s family next weekend, so I’m having sympathetic anticipation! :-)

what a lovely little granddaughter! have a wonderful time ad, we will also be seeing our canberra grandchildren this weekend when we brave the cold and go to visit them, such a precious heart-warming time!!!

Wonderful post and so much to be happy about! I love the photo of your grand-daughter. She is absolutely darling and the same age as my son Max. I didn’t know they lived in NY. That must be so hard. But I’m glad you get to see them soon! Also, I play the piano too but am very rusty. My favorite song to play is Moonlight Sonata! :)

I can only play the first movement too. My sister is much better and surpassed me (she is three years younger) when I left for college and can play all the movements! So cool! My son’s name is Max but you probably know that. Great name! :)
